WEBVTT Central Iowans have been preparing all day for tomorrow's storm! KCCI's Laura Nichols joins us LIVE from downtown Des Moines to explain! It's kind of the calm before the storm right now. But we found plenty of people today who wanted to make sure they're ready for whatever tomorrow brings... At 50 something degrees...Centr al Iowans soaked in the final hours Wednesday ... OUT ENJOYING THE WEATHER ACTUALLY... CONSIDERING THE FACT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE COLD TOMORROW. But as the snow melted away outside... a different type of snow melt flew off store shelves. GETTING READY FOR THE ICE AND THE SNOW TOMORROW. Megan Hansen bought two bags because she couldn't take any chances... THEY RELY ON US NURSES AND POLICE OFFICERS...IN THAT KIND OF PROFESSION YOU DON'T GET TO JUST CALL IN OR GET THE DAY OFF SO THEY RELY ON YOU TO BE THERE. Across the street ...people loaded up their carts with other essentials...milk seemed to be the most popular item... I'M PRETTY STOCKED UP I'M DOING PRETTY GOOD. I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT HAVING TO SHOVEL IT ALL...THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY FUN. Whether we see rain, snow, or both many Central Iowans are preparing... IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE I RECOMMEND YOU DO STAY HOME. Because no one wants a repeat of last month I THINK IT HASN'T REALLY BEEN THIS EXTREME IN THE PAST, BUT IT'S IOWA SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. Des Moines Public Works had a harder time preparing for tomorrow's storm. Crews were not able to pre treat the roads because the rain will just wash it all away. So could make things difficult for tomorrow... Thanks, Laura.
